FALLING FOR A ROGUE ALPHA CHAPTER 37
The same scenery of wide fields here and there greeted me. In the middle of the day, the rice had already been harvested, and the field was brown. There were patches of local forage for animals, and I noticed cows and goats roaming the peaceful pastures.The road we took ended at the Clayland Plantation's gate. The chemical scent of paint told me that the estate, like the fields around it, was kept in immaculate condition. When we arrived at the estate, I opened the car window to smell the fresh scent of flowers scattered throughout the grounds. When the car finally came to a stop in front of the residence, I took a deep breath.An elderly woman greeted us and I was nervous. Judging by her resemblance to Jacob, I could tell she was his mother. When I glanced at my companion, he just shrugged off his shoulders, but deep inside my mind, I wondered if I had slept with him that night. Was it Jacob or was it someone else?What if it wasn’t Jacob with whom I had a one-night stand but his po

He didn’t say anything and just shrugged off his shoulder before gesturing his hand to show me where the door was. I rolled my eyes at his arrogance before leaving. However, on my way out, he followed me, and I snapped at him.“Why are you following me around?” I asked him.“Because my mother told me to take you to your room,” he replied.“Okay,” I told him because what else should I tell him? I let him to guide me towards the guest room I would be occupying, but at the same time, I wished that Jacob was with me, as well as my daughter. For several days, I have been trying to contact the people from that orphanage but I couldn’t get though. The phone was busy and I couldn’t help but to feel uneasy about it.I tried to visit the orphanage but my luck ran out, and as much as I wanted to see my daughter, I couldn’t take the risk of Jacob finding out about her. Then, I remembered his beta, Dale. Where was that guy again? I never heard anything about him since he left the house.“If you wi

When he accused me of trying to flirt with him, I narrowed my eyes at him, and then I arched my eyebrow. “Flirting with you? Now, you are imagining things, Stefan!”“Am I just imagining it, Bethany? The way you look at me is different and I noticed it the moment I picked you up,” he claimed.I wanted to tell him that it was because of what happened a long time ago but I couldn’t come up with the right words. So, I ended up biting my bottom lip and then he raised an eyebrow before shaking his head in disbelief. What have I done? Everything just went wrong since I arrived at the plantation!When he left after being disgusted with me, I rolled my eyes and sighed deeply. I also wondered why his presence had such a great impact on me. Maybe, I should practice being immune to his presence, or I would be damned. Hopefully, Jacob would come sooner!To erase the troubles away, I decided to take a quick shower. Water has always been my therapy whenever something was bothering me. Even a quick s

Stefan mentioned an outing but it really wasn’t an outing, but someone’s residence. When I glanced at him to question our destination, he just shrugged off his shoulder. “Are you not going to tell me why we are here?”“To visit my friend,” he replied briefly. “We are just dropping by, don’t worry,” he added, so I just let him, and didn’t say anything else.He pressed the doorbell to announce his presence and in no time at all, someone came to open the gate. It was a brown-haired woman with tantalizing eyes. Just like Stefan, she tied her hair into a ponytail and the hairstyle revealed a friendly face. From my point of view, she looked like a goddess in a puff-sleeved summer dress. She really looked elegant, and when she smiled at Stefan, I could tell she has a soft spot for Jacob’s brother.“Amber!”So, her name was amber, and her eyes brightened as soon as he got closer to her. Then, her beautiful smile faded as soon as she saw me. Didn’t she notice me earlier? When she stared at me

I've always wanted to ask him about the lipstick smudge on his collar, but I should rein in my desire to know everything all at once. I'd be able to use that bit of information against him...and Amber!"The house is dark," I noticed when we returned at Clayland. If not because of the sounds coming from frogs and crickets, the silence would be deafening."Most likely a power outage," he replied.“I’m sure there’s a backup, right? Solar or perhaps a generator set?”"Don't worry, the power will be restored before midnight," he assured me but I suspected he was just lying to make me feel at ease.His assurance, however, did not help when it began to rain even before we arrived at the front porch. It could be late but I wouldn’t mind getting wet under the rain. “Just go inside first,” I told him.“Why?” He inquired.“I’m going to stay here for a bit.”“You will get wet!” He exclaimed in disbelief.“That’s the main purpose,” I told him, and his mouth gaped open in shock. “If you are worried

If there’s one thing I hate about men, it’s their domineering attitude. Stefan was like my father who loved to boss me around as if I had no common sense. I clenched my teeth after I was able to distance myself from him.“Will you please stop bossing me around, Stefan? I am not your woman!” I complained angrily and I heard him snort at my announcement.“What are you talking about, woman? Can’t I boss a maid who resides in my place?”The word ‘maid’ reminded me of my current position, and I immediately bit my bottom lip because of embarrassment. “Certainly, you can,” I replied, and without waiting for him, I walked towards the entrance, and never looked back.We slowly made our way up to the second floor, and then I stopped walking suddenly. He groaned when he almost tripped over. “I am scared of the dark,” I told him.“You have to endure it,” he replied.“Come with me inside,” I tried to use my charm on him just to test if he was gullible to any temptation. I needed to know something
FALLING FOR A ROGUE ALPHA CHAPTER 43
After waking up, I stretched my arms, but as soon as I remembered what I did last night, I wanted to go back to sleep. It was the most embarrassing moment of my life, and if Jacob would allow me, I’d rather go back to Claybourne. I sent him a message before going to bed that I would like to return to Claybourne since he hasn’t arrived yet, however, he told me to stay put. He said he would arrive in a few days.I took a deep breath before getting up and proceeded to the bathroom to take a shower. Then, I went downstairs to cook. Just like in Claybourne, I had to work in Clayland. However, Stefan was already in the kitchen when I got there.“Good morning, Bethany!” He smiled when he said his greetings, and I wished he didn’t show me his perfect set of teeth.“Good morning, Stefan. What are you doing here?”“Cooking,” he replied.“But it’s my job!”“Yes, but you woke up late and I’m already starving,” he answered directly.“I’m sorry for being late. I remembered setting the alarm clock b

We argued over something insignificant and because of it, I temporarily forgot about what happened. However, as soon as realization hit me, I glowered my eyes at him, and snapped, “Are you not going to help me?” He simply stared at me and I wondered why."You're completely naked!" He exclaimed.However, I was unconcerned about my nakedness. Rather, I was concerned that I would be become disable for the rest of my life. I couldn’t become one! I had so many things to accomplish in the future, especially for my daughter!“Stefan?” I called for his name when turned his back from me, but he never listened. He went through the closet and rummaged it. Then he returned with one of my clothes.“Put this on,” he said while handing it to me.“I don’t think I can do it,” I told him the truth and he never was“You can’t? Are you sure about that or you’re just trying to seduce me,” he accused me of something so horrendous!I twitched my nose before giving him a death stare. For a moment, I was just
